As I said in the description, this allows board specific make targets such as "install", or other board specific targets that might need to be included in the $(ALL) make variable.
If make targets are placed in the board specific "config.mk", the first such target becomes the default make target, instead of "all", which is declared later in the main Makefile.
This is something I don't like. "config.mk" is intended to hold configration information needd for the make, nothing else. Definitely no make targets or rules or things like that.
Precisely - that is what I was saying. You cannot include targets or rules in the board specific "config.mk" file.
Actually the board specific "config.mk" files might be romved one day.
Umm.. this would be very bad. Why would you want to do that?
make targets placed in the board specific Makefile can't be called from the top level directory.
Do you reallyneed your own private make targets?
I gave two examples - "install", and a target for an image of the "boot page" for our MPC8560 board (which I want to be added to the $(ALL) list). I have others, but they are more trivial.

Fair enough. I will do that in future. Cheers! Murray... -- Murray Jensen, CSIRO Manufacturing & Infra. Tech. Phone: +61 3 9662 7763 Locked Bag No. 9, Preston, Vic, 3072, Australia. Fax: +61 3 9662 7853 Internet: Murray.Jensen@csiro.au
